The perfect gift

I knew I wanted to buy myself a little something after my stint in hospital. I kept the thought in the back of my mind and I promised myself that as soon as I was fully recovered, I'd go shopping! So I did.

One of my favourite shopping destinations is Westfield Doncaster because it is home to a few of my favourite high-end designers and boutiques, such as Ralph Lauren, Gant, Max & Co, Max Mara, Christensen Copenhagen and Bally.

I knew that there were sales going on and so it seemed like the perfect time to shop for a little something just perfect for me.

While looking in Christensen Copenhagen, I found a grey cashmere sweater by By Malene Birger. Malene Birger is an award winning Danish designer, formerly of Day Birger et Mikkelson. The price had been reduced and was within my price range. Perfect! So I tried it on and fell in love with its buttery soft texture and loose, comfy style.

I had been needing to purchase a few pieces that I could wear on the weekend for day and be able to dress up for a casual night out as well. Many of the sweaters I already own are quite tight fitting, shorter in length and hug my silhouette. This sweater is loose fitting and therefore more comfortable to wear. It does taper in at the lower waist, which flatters the figure. I'd say this style could possibly suit most body types.

There's a label sewn onto the back of the garment which reads "For yourself or the man in your life". Isn't that sweet? The fact that this sweater is a boyfriend style means that is is quite possible for your man to wear your sweater too. It's a cute concept, your man borrowing your sweater. Usually it's the other way around!

So there you have it! My little gift, to keep me cosy and warm during the season of Winter. I can also see myself wearing the sweater during cold Spring nights as well due to the fact it's 2 ply, making it very transeasonal.

Anyway guys, I hope you have had a fabulous time over the weekend. Have a wonderful week and remember that whatever you do, make sure you do it in style.

There are trends that come and go and then there are classics. I tend to steer towards the classics. The striped boatneck sweater is yet another timeless piece which should live in everyone's closet.

I stumbled across some old pics of movie starlets wearing nautical stripes, such as my favourite style icon, Audrey Hepburn. Years have passed and the striped sweater still looks as fabulous as it did back in its heyday.

This sweater I'm wearing is by Australian label Bezoar. They seem to have fallen off the radar at present, so I hope that in the future I can purchase another one like this!

This is my go-to outfit for comfort and style when I need to run some errands. What's yours? Hoping that your weekend was fabulous and your week is even better! Yours in style Suzi x What I'm Wearing: Sweater-Bez…

Another live stream runway show I had the pleasure of viewing was the Miu Miu Spring/Summer '19 show live from Paris Fashion Week. A highlight included looks from the red carpet as worn by famous models, actresses and digital influences, such as Australia's very own Margaret Zhang. Another highlight included seeing the image projection of models onto the new Miu Miu logo. Although, seemingly "out there", it was a very interesting and exciting way to begin the show.

I loved the bow details as seen on blouses, headbands, eyewear and shoes. Tailored blazers and coats from an array of luxe fabrics were seen in the majority of looks from the collection.

The new Spring/Summer '19 Miu Miu collecion captures the very essence of the brand: feminine, chic and girly. Lots of sparkles, glitter and crystals featured in the new collection, an element that has become Miu Miu's signature. I couldn't help but capture tiny hints reminiscent of the 1920s "Flapper Girl&…

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!

For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette.
